If you're close to Civic Center park, this is a great spot for a quick lunch break during the summer months. There's a huge selection of food trucks with generally good prices. In my opinion, there's nothing better than supporting local businesses while enjoying the sunshine.

This was my first time at this event and I truly enjoyed it. I don't know if the same food trucks come every time, but there was a good amount of variety, places to sit with shade, and lovely views. I'll definitely be back!

Civic Center Eats is great whether you're visiting or taking a lunch break from work. They have food for all different tastes and dietary needs (vegetarian, vegan, etc). This is a pic from Orange Crush, a Filipino Food truck.

This is a wonderful downtown Denver tradition in Civic Center Park. Food trucks line the center of the park with umbrella covered tables, live music, and whatever weather Colorado gives us. The food truck variety has never let me down and I do appreciate the somewhat accurate list posted on the website. There are still some surprises with trucks that have not registered, or updated information on the city website.
